    HD-DVD Processingkey

    You might wonder what excatly that means, well, what the topic says.

    Actually, as far as i understand, its the HEX code that breaks the current encryption on HD-DVD discs.

    Theres several articles and posts on the internet already about this. And every time it appears somewhere, someone starts to threaten to sue people for posting it. Solely based on that I’m posting it as well, its a simple matter of freedom of speech.

    One of the online blogs where it has been censored away, can be found here.

    AACS, who are the ones behind the encryption system even tried to make google remove all references to sites of bloggers who posted the key, i wonder if they will make google remove that somewhat 1.9 million hits it has on that key ;)

    Samsung 37″ LE-37M87BD

    I have fallen in love .. with another piece of hardware, this time though, not something directly for my computer needs.

    For a long time I wanted to have a replacement for my old Samsung 28″ CRT tv, which is immensely huge and ugly. And the other day i saw the Samsung 37″ LE-37M87BD. It suits me in every way possible. Its 37″ which is enough for our relatively small living room, it has Full-HD support, which means its capable of 1080p and it even has a built-in digital tuner. In short: the flat screen monitor of my dreams :) On top of all this, its fairly cheap considering equally quality products compared to Sony’s products.

    Its fair to say I put in the hours at work to buy this, my girlfriend actually claims I lived at work for the past few weeks:) Also, it will surely, be nice for watching some movies on :)

    Update: Now i actually have it, look here for when it was delivered. And here for the installation :)

    Wii .. i think i need one!

    This weekend, i borrow a friends Nintendo Wii, along with the nuncucks with it, and the game Wii Sports. I must say, its even more amazing than i dared to hope for.

    One could argue that the graphics on the Wii gets no where near the graphics of Xbox 360 or PS3, at all. But the Wii delivers something quite unique still, its controller is used in a new way, where it can be used as a baseball bat, golf club and even as a pair of boxing gloves!

    I played with it for a little over 8 hours during Saturday, and the “punishment” for the intense action it is playing Nintendo Wii set in today, all my muscles are sore as a result of boxing my way to Pro level in Wii sports :D

    The Nintendo Wii is amazing, and i need my own!

    You can read more about the Wii here on wikipedia and here from nintendo.com.

    Update: May 1st 2007

    I actually ordered one today :) Chipped with a WiiKey and ready to use it, i ordered it with a black case though.

    2d sidescroller aint all dead!

    In a nostalgic search for some old school screen shots, i was looking for some R-Type screen shots, i stumble across this new 2d side scroller, due to be released spring 2007! It actually looks like something i think i just might have to won :)

    See the video of it here.

    The game looks to have the kind of game play that suits me :)
